According to information from supermarkets and shopping centers in the province, people's purchasing power during the Lunar New Year 2025 rose by approximately 30% compared to regular days and by 20% compared to the Lunar New Year 2024. Additionally, the supply of Tet goods at supermarkets and shopping malls increased by 30% compared to normal days.
It is noted that Lotte Mart supermarket, Aeon Mall Binh Duong Canary shopping center, and convenience stores such as Family Mart and Circle K were open during Tet holiday. Since the 4th date of the first lunar month (February 1), some distribution systems, other convenience stores, and individual businesses in traditional markets have simultaneously reopened for sale.
The demand for shopping in the first days of 2025 mainly focuses on green vegetables, fruits, fresh food, and worship items. Particularly in traditional markets, purchasing power in the first days of the Lunar New Year is not high, thus prices of most items remain stable compared to the days before Tet, with no shortage of goods or price hikes.
